Reto Schnyder – The 2nd Wave of FinTech.

Reto Schnyder is one of the leading innovation experts in Europe. For more than 10 years, he has been dedicating his professional life to innovation. As a result, his presentations are not only theoretically sound but also filled with many anecdotes and practical examples.

Not just theory, but specific, gripping, comprehensible and taken directly from daily practice.

All of his findings and tips are based on specific and current examples and can easily be applied to the audience’s own professional life. Reto Schnyder adjusts the content of his presentations to the respective audience (e. g. branch, focus) and apart from the contents that he prepares specifically for the event, and depending on the extent, he also covers the following topics:

• Why innovation is no longer a question of „if“.
• How to create and maintain an encouraging culture of innovation.
• The most popular innovation myths and fairy tales. Why we can learn more from mistakes than from success (and what I have learned).
• Why creative professionals such as advertisers, designers or architects do not use creativity techniques.
• Why needs and not ideas are the starting point for successful innovations – and how to reliably identify latent and future needs.
• Why PowerPoint might be the biggest obstacle for innovation and how we managed to work more efficiently and successfully without it.
